Unilateral adrenal gland adenoma (2\/3)\u003cbr\u003e2. Bilateral adrenal gland hyperplasia (1\/3)\u003cbr\u003eUnilateral adrenal gland adenoma or \"aldosteronoma\" is a benign tumor in one of the adrenal glands that produces too much aldosterone.\u003cbr\u003eIn bilateral adrenal gland hyperplasia, both adrenal glands are hyperactive and produce too much aldosterone.\u003cbr\u003eLess frequent causes of primary hyper-aldosteronism are:\u003cbr\u003e1.
